Important news for cosplay and fan creators!

So @/estarguarstia on twitter recently emailed the folks at the SAGAFTRA on how fan creators/influencers can support the strike (also what should aspiring members follow to not impact their future membership) and here’s what they said.

“We are asking folks not to do cosplay if it would promote struck productions. Yes, you can promote comics, books, and games, as this is not struck work. That being said, performers are being asked to refrain from promotiong struck work, including past productions that would have been struck if produced today.”

@/KlaudiaSays clarifies further what this means as they’re a producer/writer

Furthermore here’s what SAGAFTRA has told deadline news

From the article

“And even if a social media influencer isn’t getting paid to push on social media for a studio/streamer, it’s best not to do so, even as a fan. “Influencers should refrain from posting on social media about any struck work regardless of whether they are posting organically or in a paid capacity,” reads Sagaftrastrike.org.”

So please support the WGA and SAGAFTRA strikers by not doing promo for stopped works.

Here is a current list of struck companies

And here’s the strike FAQ.

FAQs for Non-Members | SAG-AFTRA Strike

Important information about the strike for SAG-AFTRA eligible performers who have not yet joined the union.

While yes the strike does specify not cosplaying for struck companies under their “influencer” page, it also does say non-members should not render services to struck companies either if they plan to be members in the future. And from the emails from SAG-AFTRA with suggestions I linked above as well, maybe just don’t do free promo for struck companies right now.

In light of the news about Amazon retroactively canceling the already insultingly short 4 episode ALOTO season 2, it's important to remember they are doing this 1. Cause they never wanted to make it in the first place. And 2. Because they want to sway public opinion against the strikes in their favor. DO NOT GIVE IN!

People deserve fair compensation, better working conditions, and more for their work. They can cancel all my favorite shows, I don't care. Labor rights are human rights. Solidarity!

It's OK to be mad/sad/disappointed. Just remember WHY and WHO that anger should be directed toward. The studio because they refuse to pay people fair wages!!! (Which they CAN ABSOLUTELY afford!)

The first ever AMAZON STRIKE in the UK is one week away - and they need your support!

Respectfully asking if I can get a bunch of notes on this so I can show my phone when I go to the rally and let them see how much support they have! ✊

And here are the Amazon strike fund details to donate if you're able:

Name - GMB Midland & East Coast

Bank - Unity Trust

Sort Code - 60-83-01

A/c No - 33010410

Ref - Amazon

I'm pretty sure I know how this works:

Like to charge, reblog to cast!

Update:

Thanks everyone who has responded to show your support, here's a link to an interview with one of the GMB union officials earlier this morning after Amazon workers walked out at 00:00.

I will update again later today when I visit the picket, but as this is doing numbers here's a link to the official donation page: stick it to Amazon and show your support for the workers! Solidarity ✊

GMB are Standing with Amazon Workers.

Amazon workers in a Coventry warehouse have announced an initial strike date. The GMB Union are asking that you support our Colleagues.

Update 2:

Some great fighting talk from union speakers willing to take on Amazon.

Strikers told me that amazon managers and bosses have been intimidating staff & taking advantage of the fact that many workers are on zero hour contracts & many are immigrants and they speak a lot of different languages, so they've been lining the hallways to watch them as they leave shifts and lying about the union by saying the union is threatening people and beating them up, all to pressure them to stay silent and be too afraid to communicate so they don't go on strike with their colleagues. But they wont win - the strike was national news, from Philip Schofield talking about Jeff Bezos only offering a 50p raise from his billions on This Morning to major news coverage throughout the day. At one point we were live on Channel 4!

I told workers and union officials that over a thousand people from tumblr who are mostly queer/trans/nonbinary/otherwise lgbtq+ wanted them to know that they support the Amazon strikers.

One striker seemed surprised by this and I got to talk to him about how lgbtq+ people are working class too, how lgbtq+ rights are working class rights, how none of us are free from exploitation until we all are, so no wonder the gay website supports you, and he seemed to really take that on board.

All the workers were grateful for everyone who showed up and thank you all for your support - this is just the start.

Fuck Jeff Bezos

The only question any journalist should be asking when they talk to studio owners & AMPTP members is: “what value, exactly, do you add to the process?”

(They’re going to splutter about influence and cash and sound like jackasses)

My brother just filled me in on the AI outrages of the Flash movie. I was already skipping it because of Ezra Miller but I had not heard about the level of fuckery WB sunk to.

Wow they really AI’d Chris AND George Reeves against the wishes of the late actors and without the permission of their families. And made an AI-generated Flash who looks and sounds like John Wesley Shipp but without his involvement.

I am honestly shocked that Shipp and the Reeves families haven’t sued WB into oblivion.

And that this isn’t all over the SAG strike info as exhibits A through Fuck You All in need of AI protections.

Ron Perlman’s response to the studio’s plan to continue the strike until writers are losing apartments and homes is golden and the mood we all should have currently

[strawhatsocialclub]

we recorded our episode for #OnePieceLiveAction !💥

but we won’t be releasing it until a contract is reached🤐

although we don’t make money from our podcast currently, we still find it necessary to stand strong with @sagaftra and WGA. so even though we’re extremely excited to talk about OPLA, it will have to wait.

Plus, we all know Luffy would stand strong with the strike♥️

if you’re interested in helping the strike or finding out more info, we have a link to The Entertainment Fund ♥️

Thanks for your understanding! Hopefully we’ll all get to discuss the hard work of the writers/actors and whole production soon!

♥️🏴‍☠️♥️
